A study of the through-plane thermal conductivity of various gas diffusion layer materials (GDL) and the thermal contact resistance between the GDL and an electrolytic iron surface as a function of compression load. These factors were anaylized with the intention of gaining knowledge about in-situ ...
In an environment that experiences drastically changing temperatures it is potentially more energy efficient to use insulative walls that can change their apparent thermal conductivities. This paper suggests a nano-porous material able to change its thermal conductivity by a factor of 3 varying the pressure upon ...
Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are often used in electronic and microelectronic applications. It can be difficult to determine their characteristics once they are in-situ because it is hard to account for the surface roughness and waviness of the objects the TIM is applied to. This ...
Thermal adhesives that contain large proportions of high thermal conductivity filler materials are extremely useful in electronics and manufacturing. Due to the importance of these fillers it is crucial to know their exact properties. Five adhesives are examined for their thermal conductivities. These values were ...
Thermal management is extremely important for large size batteries, however, inaccurate values have been used in the past for modeling. This paper investigates the thermal conductivity of the composite cathodes. This knowledge is needed to find the true thermal properties of lithium polymer batteries. The ...
